Resilience defines this England team. There's an inner confidence, something intangible that cannot be explained. In the Euro 2025 final, they were fearless & showed their whole is greater than the sum of their parts. This is the inside story of their success. 📝 @charpur.bsky.social

Chloe Kelly “thrives in these moments”. “She loves them,” said Sarina Wiegman. “You can tell.” Kelly had just scored England’s winning goal against Italy. It has not been an easy few years for Kelly, who has shown resilience to become England’s confident, calm hero. @charpur.bsky.social

From Arsenal loaning her out to Everton, her ACL injury & being frozen out of Man City squad, Chloe Kelly's story is one of grafting, patience and comebacks. “Chloe is just attitude, sass, confidence,” said Lucy Bronze. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/651...
